Foundation / emergence
1864: At the beginning of the 1860s, the canton of Basel-Landschaft had to contend with a severe shortage of money. The financial resources of the urban banking industry flowed into the emerging railway construction . It was no longer possible for private individuals to obtain loans without having to accept exorbitant interest . The difficult situation prompted the cantonal parliament to initiate the establishment of a cantonal bank. On July 10, 1864, the people adopted the Cantonal Bank Act with a large majority. Two months later the Banking Commission met for its first meeting. The canton provided the bank with a share capital of one million francs. Within four years the balance sheet total increased from 1.6 to 7.2 million francs.
organization
The highest supervisory body of the Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank is the bank council. This consists of ten members and is currently chaired by Thomas Schneider. Vice-president is government councilor Anton Lauber , head of the cantonal finance and church administration. The members of the bank council are elected by the government council of the canton of Basel-Landschaft.
The management consists of six members and is headed by John Häfelfinger.
International expansion
With the help of the asset manager AAM (later AAM Privatbank ) taken over in 2001, BLKB wanted to expand abroad, but this failed. In 2009 AAM Privatbank was sold to Basler Kantonalbank .
